Camera strap for V1

madecov · Nov 29, 2012

I tried to use an older domke strap on my new V1 but the attachment points are just too narrow.

does anyone know of decent straps available that will fit the V1?

I find that neck straps are clumsy and often get in the way, so unless I'm using a very large, heavy camera, I prefer to use hand straps. I've tried many different brands (including a couple that were 'home made') but I tried Nikon's on my V1 and it's comfortable and works very well. It's available in several colors to match the V1 and J1 (if that's important), black, brown, orange, red and white. Sorry, there's no Hello Kitty version.

The Nikon AH-N1000 Leather Hand Strap for Nikon 1 Camera (Brown) is an optional accessory leather hand strap, custom designed for the Nikon 1 J1 / V1 digital camera. The strap offers you a comfortable, snug hold, whether you're looking for some extra security against drops while you shoot, or just want a trusty way to hold your camera while you're resting or walking to your next location. The Nikon 1 logo is featured.

I use a new Domke 1” wide strap.
The attachment straps fit snuggly. I cut the corners to get them easier through the triangle rings.

Think Tank makes a nice strap similar to the Domke strap. The attachment straps are the same width.

I am using: Domke Gripper Camera Strap, 1" without Swivel, Black.

I think I got mine after Seedeich mentioned it in an earlier post. His idea of "cutting the corners to get them easier through the triangles" is a good one --wish I thought of it when I put it on my camera.

Good luck in whatever you choose.

Sometimes I like to use just a hand strap and other times a neck strap, so I use these two straps from OP/TECH USA that are interchangeable in seconds with the supplied quick connects. They are very light, very flexible, very comfortable, very inexpensive, and easily stuff next to the camera in it's case due to their small size and flexibility. No metal to scratch the cameras either. In my opinion, this is the perfect strap solution for the Nikon 1 system cameras.

OP/TECH USA Cam Strap - QD

Bought mine from Amazon:

I am currently using the cloth strap from Artisan & Artists:

The small leather piece under the metal ring protect the edges of the camera from discoloration due to scrubbing.
